Excitement buzzes through Malta as the Foundation for the Conservation of the Maltese Bee celebrates a significant milestone – the Maltese Bee will soon grace a two-euro commemorative coin, a tangible testament to the foundation's dedicated efforts.

The Central Bank of Malta has taken up the initiative to honour this vital pollinator, a move applauded by bee conservationists and bee lovers alike!

Expressing their elation on Facebook, the foundation members conveyed their happiness that the long-suggested idea of featuring the Maltese Bee on a commemorative coin is now becoming a reality.
